"STEAM based learning is teaching children to learn through play. Problem solving, critical thinking and communication skills are strengthened through child-led play" - Miss. Athena
Science, technology, engineering, and math may seem like lofty subject matter for preschool children. In reality, preschoolers spontaneously engage in STEM activities indoors and out on a regular basis. With a little guidance from us, we can enhance children's opportunities to engage in STEM learning and develop their critical thinking skills.
At Leeway, we have decided to add the "A" to make it STEAM because we are adding the Art component to the children's learning. Miss. Athena creates lessons that are engaging and challenging for each student's individual needs. With the use of the inFocus Boards, Kindles and hands- on learning toys, the children are given many opportunities to critically think about a "STEM Challenge" and figure out solutions to the problem. ​
